Jon Friedberg Eliminated

Jon Friedberg - Eliminated
Jon Friedberg - Eliminated
Keith Hawkins raised to 32,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Jon Friedberg in middle position and he pushed all in for 171,000 total. When it was back on Hawkins, he tanked for quite a while before finally calling. The players showed:

Hawkins: {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Friedberg: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

The best hand held up for Hawkins as the board ran out {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Friedberg was eliminated and Hawkins climbed to just over 1,000,000.
